I didn't make this world for you.
You didn't buy any stock in my railroad.
You didn't invest in my corporation.
Where are your shares in standard oil?
I made the world for the rich
And the will-be-rich
And the have-always-been-rich.
Not for you,
-- Langston Hughes, “God to Hungry Child”
A Poem For Our Times, or, in other words, Shame on Us.
